The G80 spearheads Genesis's European market push, offering 5-series luxury for 3-series money -
Fuel economy aside the engine doesn’t feel outdated either, despite its unusually large capacity and absence of hybrid boost. It’s hushed and smooth under light loads for a four-cylinder, pouring torque to the wheels through a silky eight-speed automatic gearbox and fading into the background in top gear at speed. You soon settle into the highly adjustable massaging comfort seats, stroke the car along and enjoy its excellent rolling refinement; provided there’s freshly-laid tarmac beneath.
All G80s ride on conventional coil springs with continuously variable dampers, which prime themselves according to the road ahead by using a forward-facing camera; this picks out surface imperfections and uses a solenoid to adjust compression and rebound at each wheel for a more fluid ride. The dampers never hold tight control of the car’s mass, but the relaxed, long-legged feel suits the G80’s character.
The imminent arrival of the new BMW 5-series is ominous for Genesis, though. The outgoing 5-series is already a supreme package with enormous dynamic ability, and the new model is expected to build on this. With a starting price of £51,000 it’s significantly more expensive than the G80, but given BMW’s recent form, we wouldn’t bet against it being worth the extra outlay.
